Ancor safety duplex cable features red and yellow parallel primary conductors in a white common jacket. The yellow wire is recommended as DC negative because black is the standard color for AC hot. There have been many cases of people working on their DC systems who have inadvertently cut the live AC wire. Because of the wide spread use of inverters, power generators and shore power connections, even today's smallest boats pose a risk of inadvertently cutting into AC wires when working on DC systems.

This cable is constructed of tinned copper stranding for maximum protection against corrosion and electrolysis and is coated with Ancor's premium vinyl insulation that remains flexible even in extreme cold and is able to withstand salt water, battery acid, oil, gasoline and ultra-violet radiation. Insulation is rated to 600 volts, 105 degree Celsius dry and to 75 degree Celsius wet, and is resistant to heat, abrasion and fatigue. The white outer jacket is made for easy removal. Exceeds all UL 1426, Coast Guard Charterboat (CFR Title 46) and ABYC standards. THIS PRODUCT IS SOLD BUY THE FOOT.
